AUNTIE MAME LIVES AT PA' Beauregard and his family wait Mame, darling, this is your new impatiently for Mame's arrival. nephew Patrick. , j ly f 5 if A t 'ZA r :il 5 , . . . J . i I Life is a banquet, and the audience at the Friday and Saturday nights' perform- ances on December 3rd and 4th feasted on two hours of comedy. Involving over forty students, Auntie Mame was well received. The play was the story of Mame Dennis, an eccentric, fun-loving, super- sophisticate whose lifestyle was interrupted by the inheritance of her nephew, Pat- rick. Beginning with the Roaring 20's, the battle between conservative and liberal was fought throughout the play. Mame puts Patrick in a progressive school in Green- wich where everyone runs around stark naked. When Mr. Babcock hears of this, he sends Patrick off to an exclusive boarding school in Massachusetts. A unique ef- fect was achieved forthe play within the play on the stage. The audience witnessed the backstage antics of the cast and crew. One of the truly memorable scenes of the play was set on the Peckenivood plan- tation in Georgia, the home of Beauregard Jackson Pickette Bu rnsidep the dashing southern gentleman who swept Mame off her feet. The auditorium dripped of the Deep South with birds chirping, sweet music, and the fragrance of lilacs, which the ushers sprayed around the audience. The play was alive with colorful characters, people to laugh at, people you would like to strangle. Most of the scenes took place at Mame's vividly decorated red apartment that took the cast and crew four days to complete. The production was created over an exhausting four weeks. Surprisingly after the two showings most of the cast wanted to DO IT AGAIN! For the many dramatists of Auntie Mame life was made a banquet. Under the direction of Mr. Larry Williams, Drama and English teacher and Thes- pian sponsor, were the following students and their roles: Karen Stewart Norah Muldoon Angela washington Vera Cha,-les Now Pat read me all I need to know Ralph Devine about horses The hunt you know is M, Lindsey Woglsey In flffeen l'T1Il lUfeS Barry Fizer Patrick Dennis, as a boy Benny Reeves Ito David Schaffer Chris Wilkenson Mary DeFir Auntie Mame Marshall Starks Mr. Babcock Jeff Painter Susan Flautt Marian Cipolla Flay Dunn Allison Stern Carl Bush Sandy Woolridge Vicky Wagner Chris Bush Beauregard J.P.
